The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports more than two of three American adults is overweight and nearly one in three is obese or morbidly obese. Excessive weight contributes to the onset of a number of health problems including diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, coronary artery disease, orthopedic injuries and others. It can also make existing health issues more challenging to live with and treat.

If you have a body mass index of 30 to 39, you meet the criteria for obesity. Morbid obesity begins at a body mass index of 40. The management of obesity involves medical and possibly surgical interventions. Medical weight management combines diet, exercise and behavior therapy and if indicated, medicines.
